Shengjing Noble

"You even stole someone's life-saving herbs. You have no conscience. Try to do some good deeds for your grandchildren!"

……

Aunt Wang didn't understand why they all suddenly concluded that she had stolen something.

After all, she was old and her eyesight was not good. She didn't pay attention when she entered the dark room just now, so she didn't notice that her crotch was shining.

Su Lanyin sneered and asked, "Aunt Wang, do you want to hand it over yourself, or do you want me to take off your pants in front of everyone?"

When Aunt Wang heard this, she became angry and yelled, "Hey, you bitch, I'm so old, and you actually want to take off my pants? You want to die!"

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but hold back their laughter.

Mrs. Liu stepped forward and said, "Aunt, just admit it. You hid that thing in your crotch. No wonder it wasn't found just now."

Even after being exposed, Aunt Wang still insisted on being stubborn.

"Bullshit! What evidence do you have that I'm in my crotch?"

Su Lanyin explained in a cold voice: "That pearl is called the Night Pearl. As the name suggests, it will emit light at night. Normally, I would put it in my arms with a piece of deerskin to block the light, but this time, I wrapped the golden lotus with deerskin and put the Night Pearl outside. You hide it on your body, and as long as you enter a dark room, it will definitely emit light."

"what?"

Aunt Wang had never seen a luminous pearl before. She only thought that the pearl was pure white and looked colorful under the light, so she thought it was very valuable and stole it as if it were a pearl.

Su Lanyin said directly: "If you still don't admit it, then I can only report it to the government. If we search the government office, we will catch you red-handed. You don't know the value of the Night Pearl, but you must know the value of the Golden Lotus, right? Once the government convicts you, with such a high price, Aunt Wang will probably lose her head."

"Ah? No..." Aunt Wang was instantly scared and said quickly, "I'll hand it over. Please don't report it to the police. I'll get it right away!"

As he said that, he rushed into the small dark room, closed the door, and took the thing out of his crotch.

Poor people have secret pockets sewn in their crotches to hide some silver bills or valuables to prevent them from being stolen.

So, she didn't keep it close to her body.

Aunt Wang presented the night-shining pearl and the golden lotus wrapped in deerskin in both hands, looking embarrassed and nervous.

Su Lanyin felt a little disgusted, so she took a wooden basin from the side and asked her to put it in.

"Don't do such sneaky things again. If I catch you again, I won't let you off!" she warned.

Aunt Wang could only lower her head: "Yes, yes, yes... I won't dare to do it again..."

Su Lanyin thought that they were all from the same town, so they would meet each other sooner or later, so she did not pursue the matter further.

She sighed, "If you want to eat pheasant, take a seat."

Aunt Wang was reluctant to give up the piece of meat, so she immediately sat back in her seat shamelessly, not caring what others thought.

Mrs. Liu greeted the villagers, while Su Lanyin took a basin to wash the night pearl and the golden lotus.

After washing, she found a new piece of deerskin, wrapped the night pearl and put it in her arms. Then she disassembled the golden lotus, used a small part of it as medicine, and dried the rest and stored it for future use.

After doing all this, the medicine was not yet ready, so Su Lanyin served a bowl of chicken soup to Fu Mingchuan.

He heard everything that happened in the yard just now.

Su Lanyin handed the bowl over and said, "Have a bowl of chicken soup to replenish yourself. You are too weak now."

Fu Mingchuan drank his soup while asking with concern: "I heard from them that you were injured? Are you okay?"

When he asked this, she suddenly remembered that she still had a wound on her head, but she had been delayed by other things and ignored the pain.

Thinking about it now, my head is spinning again.

"I...I'm fine. You drink first. I'll go change my clothes."

After saying that, Su Lanyin returned to her room.

She washed up briefly, then took out the medicine box and treated her wound.

When she looked in the mirror, she realized that the back of her head was indeed bruised, and the wound was quite large.

In order to clean the wound, she had to cut off that circle of hair.

But luckily she has a lot of hair, and when she lets it all down, it just covers it up.

After applying medicine and bandaging it with gauze, I had a physical examination.

Luckily, there were only a few bruises and a little swelling, but no bones were hurt.

I was lucky not to have any broken bones after rolling down such a huge hill.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Su Lanyin couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek.

Some fragmented memories emerged in my mind...

She seemed to remember a lot of things, but because there were too many, she couldn't sort them out for the time being.

Suddenly, Mrs. Liu called her from outside.

"Sister Lu!"

"I'm here, what's wrong?"

Su Lanyin walked out.

Mrs. Liu handed her a bowl of delicious chicken and said, "Eat something quickly. I sent it to Master Su. It's a relief that I saved this little bit for you. Otherwise, they would have eaten it all!"

Looking at the bowl in her hand, she felt inexplicably moved.

"Sister-in-law has been busy all night, so she probably hasn't eaten yet, right?"

"Ah? I...I'm not hungry. You eat first, and I'll soak some rice in chicken broth later!"

"No, you have to eat together, otherwise I won't eat either."

Su Lanyin returned the bowl to her with a serious and determined look on her face.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu agreed embarrassedly.

The villagers were eating and chatting outside with constant laughter, while inside the house, Su Lanyin and Mrs. Liu were also enjoying their meal to their heart's content.

……

It was late at night and everyone had left. Su Lanyin walked out of the yard and knocked on the door of the next room.

Inside the house, Fu Mingchuan asked, "Who?"

"I."

Hearing Su Lanyin's response, he was stunned for a moment, then said, "Oh, come in."

She pushed the door open, then closed it. After she walked to the bed and sat down, she remained silent and just looked at the man.

Although Fu Mingchuan's eyes were cloudy and he couldn't see clearly, he could at least make out the outlines.

He noticed that Su Lanyin was staring at him and became inexplicably nervous.

"Are you... are you okay?"

"..."

Su Lanyin didn't say anything.

"What's wrong? Why...why are you staring at me like that?"

"..."

Still no response.

Fu Mingchuan felt a little numb from being looked at.

"Are you okay?"

Su Lanyin sighed and finally spoke: "After the golden lotus is used as medicine, it can completely detoxify in seven days, but it will take a month for the eyes to recover."

"Is that so... Thank you for saving my life, young lady. If you have any wishes, just tell me. I will definitely do my best to repay you in the future."

He spoke sincerely, and his eyes were particularly firm.

She didn't doubt his words, but she didn't have any wishes that needed his help to fulfill.

Su Lanyin thought for a moment, then asked, "How did you get here?"
